Hey there!

2x + 1 < 5

SUBTRACT 1 to BOTH SIDES

2x + 1 - 1 < 5 - 1

SIMPLIFY IT!
2x < 5 - 1

2x < 4

DIVIDE 2 to BOTH SIDES

2x/2 < 4/2

SIMPLIFY IT!
x < 4/2

x < 2

Therefore, your answer is: x < 2

(The graph is down below)

Good luck on your assignment & enjoy your day!

Factor 4x squared-35x+4

$4x^2-35x+4\\\\a=4;\ b=-35;\ c=4\\\\\Delta=b^2-4ac\to\Delta=(-35)^2-4\cdot4\cdot4=1225-64=1161\\\\x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt\Delta}{2a}\\\\\sqrt\Delta=\sqrt{1161}=\sqrt{9\cdot129}=3\sqrt{129}\\\\x=\frac{-(-35)\pm3\sqrt{129}}{2\cdot4}=\frac{35\pm3\sqrt{129}}{8}\\\\4x^2-35x+4=4\left(x-\frac{35-3\sqrt{129}}{8}\right)\left(x-\frac{35+3\sqrt{129}}{8}\right)$
